  • At first when I clicked prepare ingredients nothing happened. I eventually clicked around enough and things worked. Managed a B and then an A. Nice simple game with a fun focus on the theme. Great job!

Nice game.  Was fun to find the winning strategy!

Cute little game! Reminded me of playing rock paper scissors. It was a bit tricky at first, but the optimal strategy reveals itself easily enough:

  • If the opponent has prepared ingredients, the best option is always the lid until they waste their ingredients.
  • If the opponent has not prepared ingredients, it is safe to pour ingredients or prepare ingredients.

Well-explained with the hover tooltips and easy to play. Well done for your first game jam! Some kind of turn limit to encourage other strategies (like time remaining in the class) could help, as I feel like there is an optimal strategy. I could easily see this be expanded to making different kinds of potions which require different ingredients, and needing to be careful not to go to the same spot as the alchemist.

Developer

Thank you! Great ideas too, much appreciated.

Reminds me of flash era games, short and charming, simple point and click controls and easy to understand. I only played it once but I assume the grade differs depending on how many potions are yours and how many are the alchemists?

Developer

Yes that's right.  Thanks for giving it a play.
